What is the benefit of this enhancement?
Several new contextual commands for the modernized surface finish have been added to the mini toolbar and shortcut menu. Some of these commands align with all modernized annotations, while others were previously unique to symbols and now cover surface finish as well.

Transform Command
The new contextual Transform command on the mini toolbar allows you to quickly scale, rotate, and change the surface finish origin.
This command is useful for making quick adjustments to the surface finish size, orientation, or point of origin.
This enhancement reduces mouse travel to the contextual tab and enables changes directly within the surface finish context.

Repeat Command
The new contextual Repeat command on the shortcut menu allows you to duplicate an existing surface finish, copy its customization attributes, and place it in a new location.
This command streamlines the placement of repeated surface finish instances and eliminates the need to manually browse for the surface finish.

Update Symbol Command
The new contextual Update Symbol command on the shortcut menu allows you to update already placed surface finish instances to their latest definition.
This is useful when surface finish instances in a model or drawing use older definition files. With this command, there is no need to delete and replace instances, making it easy to ensure all surface finishes are up to date.

Additional Information

Limitations:When you work in the drawing environment, the Update Symbol command is applied only to the drawing-owned surface finish instances.
